Years later, I believe Ms. Hendricks became a published author,
and held a book signing at a library close to where my folks retired.

Hopefully I have the correct class I beleive Ms Hendricks was the teacher. anyhow it was sophmore english class 6th period where I was not the one of the Ms. Hendricks favorite students ( something about potential and not applying it). Well we were assigned the task of putting together a skit to be presented in class Bill Wheeler was my partner ( I pulled that name out of thin air). Surprisingly Bill and I had worked on our skit at his house several days the week of the presentation. We had everything in order and were scheduled to perform during the days class. Low and behold in one of my morning classes I decided to look over the script which I no longer had in my possession. After panicking then talking to Bill who was not pleased I decided to come clean and ask Ms Hendrick for a reprieve to which she in not so many words said not no but Hell no the show must go on ( at that point I knew I should have paid more attention and been a better student in her class)! Well I knew the script very well and spent lunch and my next class rewriting what I could remember. When it came for our skit I looked at Ms Hendrick as we were moving to the head of the class and to say the least it was obvioous she was not expecting much.
Well we put on the performance of our lives, I was Noah and Bill was "The Lord" stolen from my parents Bill Cosby comedy album. I never knew Ms Hnedrick had a sense of humor but she laughed so hard Bill and I thought she was going to fall out of the chair she was sitting at the rear of the room in. I have never forgotten this and hope she reads this and remembers and gets a chuckle out of it.

Also I was the Sophmore class secretary, nominated by one of the fellows and won in a run off Ms Hendrick never liked the fact that when we had the meetings in her homeroon my girlfriend at the time who was in her homeroom would take the notes for me.
